Mr.. JAY GOULD AND HIS PARTY.
Visit the Kansas Metropolis.
The Demands Of Wichita's Phenome.
nal Growth to be Met.

Mr. Jay Gould, and S r. 81. Clark, Frs
vice president, A. L. Hopkins, second vice
pres dent, and Superintendent Kerrigan, O
the Missouri Pacific system, drawn by
special, stopped here for a short time yester
day, having come in over the Wichita &, Col
orado from the Salina extension. The part,
went On south intending to go over the d.
N. & A as far as Iuka and back to King
man, thence to Kiowa, probably, returnin.
to Wichita some time today when they viii
spend some hours in the city.
| Mr.. Gould was the first railway magnate
Of the country to see in Wichita something
more than mere local inland city of few
thousand inhabitants, and the first among
them to declare his convictions He saw in
the location itself the next important
commercial station west of Kansas City with
possibilities which could only be measured
by those of the vast territory tributary to
her on tho south and west The fact Of her
location, a days swing of trains from the Mis-
souri, river, and at the intersection OF the
two greatest valleys ia Kansas, was sufici
ent warranty for his conclusion. The only
thing about Wichita which has probably sur
prised him, but no more greatly than thou
sands of others, is the phenomenal way in
which the city has swept forward in wealth,
business and population, especially within
the past two or three years A little up
wards of q, 600 people were returned as the
sum total of Wichita's population the first
d 4y o. last June, an increase OF 5000 over
the year previous. Fourteen hundred houses
We're built at cost of nearly two million
dollars That this wonderful growth
should be duplicated the present
fiscal year was thought barely
prob able But what are the factsl Instead
of 5000 added people our assessors say the
increase Will be nearer twenty thousand, and
where two millions were expended in i'm
provements last year nearer five millions
will be expended this year, to say nothing of
the added capital in the way OF machinery
Of factories, merchandise, banks, etc, etc,
etc. Vice-President Hopkins has no less
'sith in our city. This being Mr. Clark's
irst visit from what we know OF the charac-
er Of the man we will risk his favorable con-
customs
